La conception de la maladie et de l'organisation des soins de santé est influencée par les théories culturelles et sociales. Le traitement de la tuberculose chez les Indiens et les Inuit canadiens en fournit un bon exemple. La quantité et la qualité des soins de santé dispensés par le gouvernement fédéral aux autochtones souffrant de tuberculose ont beaucoup varié d'une époque à l'autre. L'explication de ce phénomène peut être très différente, selon le point de vue de l'observateur. Il faudra intensifier la recherche si nous voulons comprendre l'effet global du traitement de la tuberculose sur les sociétés autochtones et sur les relations entre autochtones et allochtones au Canada. Concepts of disease and the organization of health care are influenced by cultural and social theories. An example of this process is the treatment of tuberculosis among Indian and Inuit groups in Canada. The quantity and quality of health care extended by the federal government to tubercular native Canadians has varied over time. The explanations for this phenomenon can differ according to the observer's perspective. More research is needed if we are to understand the overall effect of tuberculosis treatment on native society and on native/non‐native relations in Canada
